Quordle answers for game 991 on a yellow background

The answers to today's Quordle, game #991, are…

RINSE
ANIME
PUSHY
ZEBRA

I don't know about you but I love the idea of a PUSHY ZEBRA. You know, moving all the other animals away from the watering hole so it can have it all to itself, that kind of thing. I'm sure there's a Pixar animation in there somewhere. But I digress. ZEBRA is arguably the hardest word in today's Quordle, although ANIME does give it some competition. It not only starts with a very uncommon letter in the form of Z, but also has a B in an unusual spot (B tends to start words and not much else). ANIME, meanwhile, is formed of mostly common letters (M is the slight outlier), but caused a lot of trouble when it was a Wordle answer a while ago. Overall: tricky day, folks.
